Andrew S Kim

Hello, my name is Andrew. I am in my fourth year at Bucknell University, majoring in Mechanical Engineering and minoring in Environmental Studies. Growing up on the California coast, I spent much time exploring tidepools and camping in coastal woodlands. As I grew older, many of these places became depleted of their life due to wildfires, constant tourism, and pollution, among many other things. As these environments disappeared, so did the sense of wonder and awe that I had once experienced in these natural areas. I hope to one day use my passion for the environment as well as my passion for design to help develop technologies that might be used for research, restoring natural environments, and mitigating the effects of climate change. I hope that one day future generations might be able to grow up with the same wonder and awe for the environment that I felt as a child.
